    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

            (2) by striking the period at the end of subdivision (e) 
        and inserting a semicolon; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(f) peanut butter and paste manufactured in, and entered 
        from, a foreign-trade zone: Provided, That--
                    ``(i) any peanuts that are not qualifying goods 
                under General Note 12, and
                    ``(ii) any peanut butter or paste,
